Biography

A Healing Vet’s goal is to provide caring and comprehensive veterinary services for all species. The key to having a healthier (and happier) pet is through preventative care; one of the most important components is having a complete physical examination of all the pet’s vital systems yearly to establish a baseline and to catch any potential problems early while they are still easy to correct. Our basic services include vaccinations, skin and ear care, parasite control, dental cleanings and extractions, spays, and neutering. Puppies, kittens, and geriatric pets often need examinations twice a year. We encourage all pet owners to microchip their pets. Every vaccination program is tailored to the individual pet’s needs.

A Healing Vet also offers a comprehensive range of services. If your pet is seriously ill we have an isolation room for intensive care; other ill or injured animals can be hospitalized and monitored overnight if needed. While some laboratory tests, such as stool examinations, are performed at the hospital, our local veterinary laboratory picks up samples twice daily for the fastest response time. The separate surgical suite has the latest in anesthesia and surgical equipment to enable A Healing Vet to provide the best possible anesthetic and surgical care for your pet, for procedures ranging from a routine spay or neuter to a complicated orthopedic procedure or tumor removal. For example dental cleanings can often be performed with minimal sedation for older pets; a local anesthetic can be used for pain free extractions. All pets are held, talked to, and comforted while recovering from anesthesia instead of just recovering in a cage.

Reproductive timing, breeding, and artificial insemination services have been a special interest for Dr. Connor, since she is a breeder herself.

Our goal is to educate our patients about Chiropractic and other natural solutions to common health problems in order to motivate you to take a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining your own health as well as the people around you.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Bartley understands that even if our patients are diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. For this reason, a specific plan of action is tailored to meet individual needs, goals and unique medical and physical condition.

Finding a chiropractor who understands changing health care needs, the most current techniques and approaches to addressing health problems can be a daunting task. We hope you will find this site helpful in learning more about our gentle chiropractic care and ways the quality of your life can be improved.

Veterinary Orthopedic ManipulationVOM

VOM is an acronym for Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation, which is a non-manual technique of animal chiropractic. This non-invasive healing technology locates vertebral lesions, known in the chiropractic world as subluxations. A subluxation of an animal’s nervous system prevents correct communication with the brain. VOM re-establishes the neural communication and re-aligns the spine. A VOM practitioner will find and reduce all neuronal subluxations through a series of adjustments with an instrument. This form of chiropractic care for animals uses the body’s own healing abilities and the relationship between the spine and nervous system to restore and maintain good health. The list of injuries, illnesses and disorders a veterinary chiropractic can help is extensive and will continue to expand as more and more pet patients are treated by licensed animal chiropractors.

Don’t hesitate to call or email if you have questions as to whether animal chiropractic could help your pet’s condition. Dr. Bartley couples VOM with Laser pet care to create the most beneficial treatment by a chiropractor for pets and their conditions. Both are non-invasive and effective.

Please Note:

If you decide to explore chiropractic care for your pet, it’s important to find a practitioner who is licensed for pets.

Human chiropractors can become licensed to treat pets, but only after special training. So you must insure that the practitioner you choose to care for your pet, whether it’s a veterinarian or a chiropractor, is certified to perform chiropractic on animals.
